JVC HP-DX1000/DX2000

Part of my personal collection is the JVC HP-DX1000. It’s a beautiful headphone that pushes some of the most bass impact of any headphone out there stock. It sounds gorgeous with its unique wood-mounted drivers, is very comfortable, causes zero listening fatigue, and isolates well. It doesn’t make the top 10 because EQ doesn’t quite push the slam into insane territory, but it can shake your ears despite having plush leather earpads. If you’re a basshead-audiophile, these are right up there with the Fostex TH600/TH900 in sonic bliss.

Have you ever tried the Beyerdynamic DT 770s? I’m curious what you think of them in regards to the others on this list. They have pretty deep bass extension and benefit a lot from EQing up the low end while EQing out a bit of the harshness of the highs.
